How do I startup this PDP10 with TOPS 10/20 ??

This PDP10 simulator that is ;)

I'm hacking on the simh ( http://simh.trailing-edge.com/ ) and have
the pdp10 module compiled and running a-ok. Also looking at the
PDP10 Software kit ( http://old-pdp-10.trailing-edge.com/ ) but I'm
rather clueless where to even begin. Everything in the TOPS-10
table are *.tap tapes, one is tagged "BOOTABLE". I d/l that, attach
it to TU0 and boot TU0. Nothing happens but when I stop the sim
it reports: Simulation stopped, PC: 000000 (000000000011)

Another one marked TOPS-10 7.03 KS Bootable tape I just tried,
with similar results.

Any hints on where to start exploring or should I just give this up
as hopelessly impossible w/o a wall of orange books and years
of experience??

        Thanks
